Gerry Pecht, Norton Rose Fulbright’s global chief executive officer, has left the law firm.
Pecht retired effective Monday, leaving with more than a year left in his leadership term, Norton Rose said in a statement. The international law firm is shuffling its leadership ranks as a result of Pecht’s departure.
Jeff Cody, managing partner of Norton Rose’s US operations, and Peter Scott, head of the firm’s Europe, Middle East and Asia region, will jointly lead the firm’s global executive committee on an interim basis. The committee manages the firm’s operations.
“This interim appointment will ensure a seamless management of the affairs of the global firm,” the firm said in a statement.
Pecht spent 43 years at Norton Rose, serving as global head of dispute resolution and litigation, among other leadership roles. He was elected in late 2020 to four-year term as CEO. He succeeded the firm’s longtime leader Peter Martyr, the architect behind the merger between Norton Rose and Fulbright & Jaworski.
“The firm wishes Gerry the very best in the next phase of his remarkable career,” the firm said in a statement.
